The canvass shows two characters sitting at a table. They contemplate the single piece of an imaginary game, similar to a game of chess. Each of them has for vocation to evoke the welcome reserved for the creation in its extreme attitudes: facing each other, two Maîtres of the contemporary art. One is the chess players of Marcel Duchamp, from a painting of 1911. This man seems afflicted: a premonitory sign of the mercantile future of the contemporary art? Opposite, Damien Hirst's portrait. The Britannic artist symbolizes the consecration of the contemporary art. He seems to think about the future of the creation or maybe about his own quotation on the art market?
The piece in the center represents the Burj Khalifa tower, inaugurated in Dubai - United Arab Emirates, in January, 2010. This financial symbol is closely linked to the financial crac of 2008 and represents, in a way, the end of an economic ideology which will have reigned more than two centuries over the world …
A child attends the scene; he is present throughout this polyptych. This timeless presence symbolizes the innocence which characterizes him. In this canvass, the child looks at his money box broken on an oil barrel: this representation and his face evoke the disproportionate means implemented for the realization of this architectural work. This symbolizes there even the apprehension of the people of the 21st century in front of the importance of the money in our lifestyles and the disastrous consequences of the speculations which the future generations might be brought to endure….
This picture is the fourth and last of the series of the Towers’Players.
Every painting quotes a major architectural work in the human creation since " our origins " until nowadays. This series proposes a reflection on eternal immoderation of the man in its relationship to the creation; besides, this spotless white of the tablecloth symbolizes the blank page in front of which stands all the human creation.
